You write, “If you are giving your students options, make sure you spell out these options as clearly as possible.†I want students to learn to be enterprising and self-reliant, so I will purposely leave some assignments open to interpretation. Also, regarding late work, you mention to students, “You will be reminded of these due dates throughout the course.†I don’t do that because I want them to learn to follow the syllabus themselves. Do you see any value in my approaches?
